Today we had the opportunity to welcome Federal Minister Rechie Valdez, who serves both as Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State (Small Business and Tourism), to visit Miramichi Safe Harbour Services here in Downtown Newcastle

Miramichi Safe Harbour Services operates several important facilities within the Downtown Newcastle district, including the Miramichi Women’s Shelter, and Frieda's House, a $3 million second-stage housing development made possible through collaboration between the federal and provincial governments, the City of Miramichi - City Hall, and strong community support.

These services provide critical stability and safety for women and families while also being an active and valued part of our downtown business community.

During the visit, we had a meaningful discussion with Minister Valdez about both the organization’s work and the opportunities and supports available for entrepreneurs in our downtown district and across Miramichi. With her role focused on small business and tourism, it was an important opportunity to share perspectives from the local level.

We appreciate the Minister taking the time to visit Miramichi and learn more about the organizations that contribute to the strength of our community.

Our downtown is built on collaboration — between government, community organizations, and local businesses — and conversations like this help ensure that the voices of Miramichi continue to be heard.

The Greater Miramichi Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Newcastle Business District are partnering once again this summer to welcome SEED Summer Students to our team.

This program gives students the opportunity to be part of the energy that makes Miramichi thrive during the summer months — supporting local businesses, helping with community programming, and being involved in some of the exciting festivals and events happening throughout the season.

We’ll be hiring directly from applicants through the WorkingNB listing, so if you’re a student looking for a summer role that gets you out in the community, builds real experience, and connects you with local business leaders, we want to hear from you.

🌟 A summer of business support, community programming, and festival energy is waiting for the right candidate.
